Unclutter Your Life by Greening and Redecorating Your Work Space - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda

Whenever we think of uncluttering and destressing, we usually immediately think about going away somewhere. While that sounds like a very good idea, there are other alternatives too that don’t involve packing your bags or spending a lot. Here’s something I think we office and home workers should consider: instead of a weekend getaway, how about a little redecorating at work?
 
Take a good look at your work space. How’s your desk looking at the moment?
 
You may do all the right green things at home, but what about the place you spend majority of your hours every week – your desk? There’s always room for improvement and a little rearranging, don’t you think?
 
After having moved, added and tossed things from my workspace, I find that redecorating can be very therapeutic, not to mention it can give you a fresh, new perspective! Working in a new and improved, green workspace can indeed do wonders for your mind, body and the planet!
 
If your company is not yet green, then we encourage you to convince management to take steps to become environmentally friendly. In the meantime, you can always take steps to green your own space – both at the office and at your personal workspace at home.
 
Here are some of the things you can do to green and liven up your work area:
 
DECIDE WHICH ITEMS TO KEEP AND TOSS.
 
Clear the clutter – papers, envelopes, old receipts, used scribble pads, candy wrappers, etc. When I cleaned out my desk drawers, I took out some old shoe boxes and labeled them "for recycling" and "give away". Place items in the appropriate box as you go through all your other stuff. 
Add plants.
 
This is perhaps the quickest, simplest way to liven up your workspace – add some plants! Putting a plant or two on your desk or anywhere near your work area will help purify the air and prettify the office environment instantly! There are plenty of great office plants to choose from, but if I were to pick one, I’d go for the Peace Lily. It makes a great air cleaner and is the perfect size for the cubicle desktop!
 
REPLACE OFFICE SUPPLIES.
 
There’s nothing like giving your desk a new look with new office supplies. We’re not encouraging spending a lot on staplers, pen holders and sticky notes, but maybe you can "upgrade" your old, worn out supplies with some environmentally-friendly versions. It’s so great that there are now many eco-friendly versions today, from green writing instruments, stationery, envelopes, notebooks to computer paper. Check out the eco-friendly stuff from Organize.com and stock your office space with all the green supplies you need.
 
SWITCH TO REUSABLE MUGS.
 
OK, it’s been said before but we’ll say it again. Styrofoam and plastic cups take a hundred years to break down in landfills. Make that green switch by taking your own reusable coffee mug to work. For water and cold drinks, get one of those cool eco water bottles such as Sigg or Kleen Kanteens. They come in different colors and designs so pick one that expresses your personality! After all, your mugs and water bottles form part of your office decor – they’re a staple in your office desk!
 
SWITCH TO SMALLER TRASH CANS.
 
Yes, you read that right. Switching to a smaller trash can will encourage you to think twice before you toss, thus helping you to recycle more. Take away the luxury of conveniently tossing away things because of a large waste basket. It will take a while to get used to, but it’s a great green habit to cultivate.
 
GREEN YOUR OFFICE LIGHTS.
 
Office lighting can suck up a lot of energy, so do what most green newbies are doing today – switching out conventional light bulbs and replacing them with compact fluorescent bulbs. This will initially cost slightly more money, but over time, this translates into real savings for you because CFL’s use way less energy.
 
Finally, if you want a totally new look to your office, rearrange your desk, cabinets and couch. Our office space is the place we call home for the better part of the day so let’s do as much as we can to keep it conducive to productivity and friendlier to the planet. With a savvy green work space, we can definitely say goodbye to stress!

Is Happiness a Question of Age? - Ajit Patel UK

At what age did you feel the happiest? Or perhaps  you feel your happiest years are yet to come? Many  people believe that childhood is the happiest time of  life and things steadily decline as we get older and  grumpier, but this is only partially true. According to  psychologists, happiness is high during youth, hits  a low point in your mid-40s and then starts to rise  steadily as you grow older. And the results aren’t  isolated to one country or culture – the same pattern  occurs in over 70 countries across the globe. Experts  have struggled to explain why this U-shaped happiness  pattern occurs, but similar results have been identified  in over 500 apes, whose carers were asked to assess  the apes’ happiness on a scale of one to 10.  The results showed that, like humans,  younger and older apes were both  happier than middle-aged  apes. This suggests the  reasons are physiological  rathe...

Using The Right Oils For Your Health - Ajit Patel UK

Oil gets a bad name sometimes. It’s a bad word – we associate it immediately with fat and gaining weight and that can make many people shy away from oils and try to remove them for their diet entirely. But this isn’t a good idea; some oils can actually be very beneficial to your health especially when they are used in moderation. But what are the right oils to use, and how to you know that you are doing the right thing? These days there are loads of different oils to choose from: rapeseed, groundnut, extra virgin, and the list just goes on and on. We no longer live in a wonderful where ‘olive oil’ is exotic; if anything it has become a standard that we all adhere to. The best choice is usually plant oils as they are generally higher in monounsaturates and polyunsaturates, which makes them better for you than most animal fats which generally contain higher levels of  saturated fats . Replacing saturated fats in your diet with unsaturated fats is generally very good for you. On...

How Much Sleep Do We Really Need? - Ajit Patel UK

It is often noted that the best amount of sleep is between six to seven hours a night, but for some, that can be either too little – or for fewer, too much. Burning the midnight oil may be a sign of unnatural strength, but insomnia is no trivial matter; for the political titan, the late Margaret Thatcher, it was something of an characteristic. Considered a mark of endurance, the late-to-bed-early-to-wake routine may be something of a superhuman power, but how good is it in the long-run? In a high-profile, heavily-demanding job, the pressures of a businesslike lifestyle is not one that should be taken lightly. Whilst something of a trophy, surviving on four hours of sleep is not the sign of a healthy body or a sound mind; although, in some cases, there is competition to see which person has the least amount of sleep. The hours are long, the time is short and having free time is something of a luxury. It is suggested that the type of job that you have will adjust your need fo...
